Red and Black with Silver Butterfly Beaded Art Quilt Pin. Appx. 1 1/4x2" in size.

This pin is made of red and black fabrics in blue, pink and green satin stitched together with silver thread. The edges are bound with white and silver yarn stitched on with clear thread. Assorted glass beads in red, white and clear, add sparkle. A silver tone butterfly flits by a pearl daisy at the base of the oval. The back on this pin also allows for use as a pendant, by pinning it onto a necklace or chain you already have (chain not included).

Art quilt pins look great on lapels, sweaters, or blouses to add a little glitz to any outfit. They also can be used to jazz up an evening bag.

My Art Quilt Pins came about when I had collected an abundance of very small scraps of beautiful "quilt sandwiches", (pieces of batting with fabric fused to both sides). Many of the fabrics were ones that I had painted myself, and I just could not throw them away. I started stitching pieces together into mini crazy quilts, then embellished them with beading, and the Art Quilt Pin was born. They are fabric on the back, also, and stiff enough to hold up well while being worn. These little gems are one of a kind originals that give me a way to express myself and play with the beads, crystals, and fibers that I have been collecting.
